Separate pooling agreements are favored for the two varieties of, prunes, the Petites and the Ore gons or Italians. They appeal to different districts and to differ ent kinds of markets, and the dii- rectors believe that it would be more satisfactory to place each in a separate class. The enormous tonnage of Oregon prunes this fall would Insure a big business in tw separate divisions.

Repub lican, Oregon, bat neither that nor any of the other amendments offered came to a vote. : The unanimous consent agree ment limiting ' discussion-; on amendments to 20 minutes to each senator, will become opera tive tcmorrow and leaders were hopeful that a final vote on the bill itself could be had before ad- ournxaent. Two Voice Opposition In the discussion . today, Sena tors Wadsworth of New ork and Sterling of South Dakota, Repub licans, voiced their opposition to be .bonus, although Senator Ster ling supported the reclamation project. Senators Nicholson, Re publican, Colorado, and Heflln, Democrat, Alabama, supported the bill, the former also arguing n favor of the McNary amend ment. Business Men Attacked Senator Nicholson attacked the business men opposing the bon us, mentioning particularly the United States Steel corporation and -the Standard Oil company. He charged that the latter com-: pany profited through 'uncon scionable" prices charged during the war and declared that it ill became Judge E. H. Gary, chair man of the board of the steel cor poration, to oppose adjusted com pensation for the veterans when his company had made "gTeat profits" during the war. Senator Wadsworth was partic ular, vigorous in his attack on the measure. He declared that the bonus could be financed only through taxes now or later and that the American i- people had reached a limit in the burden they could bear. Veterans Must Work Harder Also he argued that the veter- ansfbemselves, their wives and their children would have to work but the harder in the years to come to pay back the money the former soldiers received which, hie contended, would be in3uftic lent to afford any lasting bene fits. ' The New York senator argued tnaY"th"e measure, 'could f 'not be properly termed ' on "adjusted compensation" bill, because it proposed to treat all men alike. no matter what their pay inwar time, and whether they needed assistance. Bank Loan Attacked Attacking-the bank loan pro vision; he asserted that this was an invitation from the government to. self-respecting men to borrow from the banks and then repudi ate their notes, leaving to the government the payment of the sums borrowed. In presenting his reclamation amendment. Senator McNary told the senate that it afforded an op portunity for congress , to do "i great thing In empire building' by reclaiming arid lands in the west; and swamp and cut-over lands in the south and east. Ho argued also that it .would give -opportunity to veterans de siring to get back to: the land, to acquire homesteads with govern ment aid and operate to maintain a much needed balance between the rural and urban, population McNary Strongly Supported The. reclamation plan, received the support also of several sena tors from the west nd south, and was unopposed in the debate. Senators Ransdell, Louisiana and Fletcher, Florida, Democrats pictured' the benefits that would accrue in their states, while Sen ators, Walsh of Montana and Pitt man, Nevada, Democrats, joined Sena tor. McNary in, reviewing the benefits that had resulted from the enactment of tho basic recla mation law in 1302. Strong Address on "Chal lenge of the Church" Giv en by J. J. Evans ,.
